In contemporary London, a beautiful and rich young man, Dorian Gray, loves Sybil, an aspiring actress; thanks to her, he's momentarily less self-centered. He's also sitting for a portrait painted by his friend, Basil. When it's done, Dorian complains he'll grow old while it stays unchanged. On the same night, he slaps Sybil and sends her away, then accepts the seductive offer of a party's hostess to sleep with her. The next day, the painting looks slightly older.(imdb)

I do like this story, and this is a reasonable attempt at bringing it to the screen, even if it lacks a bit of sharpness. Berger is well cast in the title role, and Lom is good value for money as usual. It didn't really articulate how Gray got lured into his life of filth to any satisfactory degree, though, and it was hard to see how anyone would put up with him even taking account of his sharp good looks. Not as good as the 1940s version, but worth a look.

I guess Helmut Berger is the perfect Dorian Gray. Handsome, blond, narcissistic, arrogant...
